Well it would be a shock to the system...with digestion, psilocybin is gradually absorbed, whereas with injection it goes from not being in the bloodstream to suddenly being in the bloodstream. It's not a gradual opening of the doors of perception, it would be like a TNT charge placed at the door.

--------------------The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity. ~ Albert Einstein

What is sucking marijuana? Is it Australian slang or does it just mean sucking on it like a candy? I don't see what is completely retarded about that, like you make it out to be mjshroomer. It's just trying to find another way to administer marijuana and to test if it is active via that route.

By mushroom juice, I assume the subjects in question made a tea out of the mushrooms and injected that. Injecting pure psilocin or psilocybin should not cause such physical effects, so it must have come from the other alkoloids or chemicals that were extracted in the tea making process. Also, someone has made a tea and administered it via enema and had no physical side effects, so what would the difference be between the two routes? What wouldn't be absorbed through the intestinal lining that will be absorbed through the esophagus and stomach tissue?

Also, perhaps what they injected wasn't an active Psilocybe species? The article is not specific to which species they ate, only referring to them as Goldtops (which is a common name for cubes, it's still very inaccurate). I don't know much about various mushroom species, but are there any poisonous ones in the Psilocybe genus?

dblaney - A shock to the system would not cause such physical effects. IVing DMT is a perfectly reasonable way to administer DMT and causes no such physical ailments. One could even say it's a nuclear bomb compared to your TNT analogy with psilocybin.

mjshroomer - When was this article written? You really should try to post dates with articles.

Just laughing at some people's misfortune and calling them morons contributes nothing. Instead, let's actually try to discuss things and advance our knowledge.

You make a good point.

I challenge you to a ninja duel!

But back on topic, does anybody have any comments on my post, or did I just bring an end to the derision? This article really isn't in depth enough to draw any conclusions on the stupidity of the subjects or the validity of the Medical Journals prediction.

Hmm, I think you are right that they injected mushroom tea. Although they must have boiled it down quite a bit...imagine injecting an entire cup of tea...hell just diluting your blood that much couldn't be good. And if they did dose the tea, then I would guess that perhaps through oral or anal ingestion, the body is able to break down or metabolize various alkaloids that could be toxic, but by injecting it, the body was inable to properly break them down.
